Introduction to Huanghuagang Park |
On April 27,1911(March 29, Lunar year Xinhai), Tongmenghui,
a revolutionary Organization, led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen
launched an uprising to overthrow the federal Qing dynasty
to build a new democratic country, but unfortunately
the effort failed . Seventy-two martyrs were found and
buried here in the Huanghua Hillock. The cemetery was
begun in 1912 and finished in 1921. (It was later determined
that there were 86 martyrs, including 30 who were overseas
Chinese.)
On the gateway were inscribed four Chinese characters
"Hao Qi Chang Chun" by Dr. SunYat-sen, meaning
"Eternal Noble Spirit". Two-hundred-metre
paveway lined with evergreen cypress trees lead to the
Martyrs' Tomb. Behind the tomb is a memorial wall made
of stones. On the top stands the Statue of Liberty,
symbolizing the martyrs' noble spirit of fighting for
freedom and democracy. Near the tomb are pine trees
planted by Dr. Sun Yatsen, Lin Shen and Jinlian Wu.
That still stand tall and straight. Along the south
path dozens of stone tablets are inscribed with epitaphs
such as "Soul of Freedom" "Immortal Spirit".
Two stone dragon pillars, each more than three meters
tall, stand opposite each other on both sides of the
path.
In addition to the Martyrs' Tomb, there are other revolutionary
forerunners' tombs in the park. They are General Dawei
Pan. General Zhongyuan Deng, General Xianri Yang, Mr.
Ru Feng, Mr. Jianru Shi.
The park also contains Huanghua Well, Huanghua Pavilion,
Silent Pond, Square Pond, Octagonal Pavilion, Huanghua
gardens, tennis courts and other scenic spots and activities
services.
